If there was something our family could agree on about dad, it would definitely be his stubbornness that was backed by so much love and guidance to take with us throughout life. He always made sure he drove us crazy enough to never forget his lessons, a tactic we will all take with us knowingly wherever we go and pass on to our children. He was keen on making sure we all stuck together and worked through anything life threw at us as a team. As a family. He gave us all such A strong bond that nothing can break. No matter what happened, no matter what challenges we faced he made sure he protected and provided for us, for his family. He taught us the greatest gift of all, a family’s bond is stronger than anything in this world and to never forget it. He was and always will be the greatest father to us all and his lessons will carry on and motivation to succeed at whatever it is we do, his kind heart that always forgave no matter how much someone hurt him, he was strong enough to always let things go. “Eh, it’s okay” he would say and brush it off. That is powerful. That is strength. Strength that We know we will all take from him and live it to the fullest. He only wanted what was best for his wife and kids and he always delivered, even if it didn’t seem like a lot. It was the world to us. His legacy will always live on through us. He will be missed but never forgotten.
